It's my understanding that it's literally an ice wine -- it also stays cold all summer long.

She's almost certainly from Ralios (see the Broken Council Guidebook), and during most of its history, the EWF and the Dara Happans were enemies. (Excepting of course when the EWF ruled Dara Happa -- I can't remember if this was at the time of Pavis.)

GRoY. And I think Peter may be wrong -- p.22 shows Elempur, south of Saird. I'm aware that this is one of the least representational maps in the book (and isn't Golden Age), but in modern times, south of Saird means Tarsh, which is Dragon Pass. Elempur brings the Bow of Dominance to Anaxial, which also suggests that norther archers dominated Tarsh.
